Lu Changsheng felt his body being pulled, as though passing through a thick, dense barrier.
He knew this was a world barrier.
*Boom.*
A powerful suppressive force instantly descended upon Lu Changsheng.
*Swish.*
Lu Changsheng opened his eyes.
He found himself in an antique, picturesque mountain manor filled with the fragrance of flowers and the chirping of birds.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, we have arrived. This is Divine Sword Villa within the secret world,"
an Earth Saint beside Lu Changsheng explained.
This secret world was referred to by the people of Divine Sword Villa as the "Yuan World."
Its setting resembled that of an ancient feudal dynasty.
Five years ago, Divine Sword Villa had arrived in the Yuan World and gradually established a firm foothold. They had likewise founded a Divine Sword Villa in this world, which had grown into a colossal hegemonic force.
However, that was the limit of their reach.
Taking another step forward proved impossible for Divine Sword Villa.
In fact, Divine Sword Villa could not even promote the Martial Dao across the Yuan World.
This was because the Yuan World possessed its own cultivation system, one that held absolute dominance.
It was a system Lu Changsheng was thoroughly familiar with.
It was the Immortal Dao!
"The Immortal Dao?"
"The dominant cultivation system in the Yuan World is the Immortal Dao? Divine Sword Villa never mentioned that beforehand."
Lu Changsheng turned a cold gaze upon the Earth Saint of Divine Sword Villa.
The Earth Saint appeared awkward, even nervous.
Under Lu Changsheng's piercing gaze, he let out a long sigh and confessed, "Yes, we did not disclose this situation in advance because we knew that once we did, practically no Earth Saint would be willing to come to this secret world.
"After all, with the Immortal Dao system reigning supreme, how could the few of us spread the Martial Dao? How could we promote it, let alone condense this world's Martial Dao?"
Indeed, Divine Sword Villa had concealed the truth in this regard.
In a sense, it was a trap.
Even in the Immortal Martial World, the Immortal Dao existed alongside the Martial Dao.
In fact, in the early stages, the Immortal Dao overwhelmingly crushed the Martial Dao.
The Immortal Dao offered myriad conveniences, making it far more alluring than the Martial Dao.
Even back in the Immortal Martial World, the Martial Dao had been unable to gain the upper hand.
Here in the Yuan World, relying solely on a handful of Earth Saints to crush the Immortal Dao and promote the Martial Dao?
That was nothing short of a pipedream.
The difficulty was simply monstrous.
Lu Changsheng finally understood why Divine Sword Villa had spent five years without catching even a glimpse of hope for condensing a Martial Dao.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, if you truly find it unfeasible, you may return to the Immortal Martial World, and we at Divine Sword Villa will think of other ways,"
the Earth Saint of Divine Sword Villa gritted his teeth and said.
He still did not dare offend Lu Changsheng too deeply.
After all, Lu Changsheng's strength was terrifyingly immense.
If Lu Changsheng concluded that Divine Sword Villa had deceived him, it would bring Divine Sword Villa no good whatsoever.
"Never mind. Since I am already here, I must at least give it a try.
"Tell me about the state of the Immortal Dao in the Yuan World."
Lu Changsheng waved his hand.
Since he had made the journey, he certainly had no intention of leaving empty-handed.
So what if it was the Immortal Dao?
It was nothing more than creating a method.
As long as the Martial Dao could offer greater convenience than the Immortal Dao,
one would not even need to thoroughly crush the Immortal Dao to condense a Martial Dao.
It merely required promoting the Martial Dao on a broad scale across the Yuan World.
In any case, he had to make an earnest attempt.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, please come inside.
"Regarding the Immortal Dao of the Yuan World, it goes like this..."
And so, the Earth Saint of Divine Sword Villa recounted everything in detail to Lu Changsheng.
The Immortal Dao of the Yuan World was divided into Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Deity Transformation.
This was identical to the Immortal Martial World.
However, Deity Transformation was the absolute ceiling here.
Above Deity Transformation, breakthroughs seemed impossible in the Yuan World.
To advance further, one had to undergo "ascension" to a higher realm.
This differed from the Immortal Martial World.
The Immortal Martial World not only possessed Deity Transformation cultivators, but also Void Refining cultivators above them.
Void Refining was comparable to the Heavenly Saint realm.
Yet the Yuan World had no Void Refining cultivators.
Naturally, this made sense.
If the Yuan World possessed Void Refining cultivators, its energy reaction would not have been merely at the Deity Transformation level.
Had there truly been Void Refining cultivators, Divine Sword Villa would never have dared step foot into the Yuan World in the first place.
"Cultivating immortality requires a spiritual root.
"And those with spiritual roots are ultimately a rare few.
"Our Martial Dao is different. The Martial Dao has virtually no threshold; anyone can practice martial arts.
"However, attempting to promote the Immortal Martial World's martial dao system here in the Yuan World is simply too difficult.
"We only have a few years left. To be blunt, the Immortal Martial World's martial dao system holds zero advantage in its early stages. How could it possibly spread?
"We tried promoting it for five years, but the result was merely establishing Divine Sword Villa and having those who joined the villa attempt to practice martial arts. Outside of that, our villa's reach cannot extend at all.
"Furthermore, in the Yuan World, various immortal cultivation sects and clans hold power, dividing regions into their own territories and spheres of influence. The moment one crosses a border, one faces a sect war.
"Our Divine Sword Villa also paid an enormous price to wipe out a local immortal sect and replace it, thereby becoming the hegemon across a radius of a million li and taking control of several mortal kingdoms.
"Yet that is all. Beyond Divine Sword Villa's territory, it remains the domain of the Immortal Dao..."
Lu Changsheng understood.
Divine Sword Villa's efforts had technically ended in total failure.
How many people could there be under Divine Sword Villa's meager domain?
Even if every single one practiced martial arts, how could they possibly condense a Martial Dao across the Yuan World?
A Martial Dao required the will of all living beings across an entire world to take shape.
Without wielding immense influence across the realm, how could a Martial Dao ever be condensed?
"Are the immortal sects of the Yuan World very strong?"
Lu Changsheng asked.
"Yes, extremely strong!"
"As for the Immortal Dao, Fellow Daoist Lu must know that it is bolstered by spells, magic treasures, formations, and the like. There are sword cultivators, talisman cultivators, formation cultivators, body cultivators, and more. Their Immortal Dao system has flourished to an extraordinary zenith, fully on par with the Immortal Dao system of our Immortal Martial World.
"Under such circumstances, the number of Deity Transformation powerhouses within those top-tier immortal sects is quite considerable.
"Some have three or five; others have eight or ten; some ancient sects even have dozens.
"Were it not for the fact that these immortal sects care only for their own lineages and couldn't care less about the survival of other sects, how could a martial dao faction like ours ever have survived in the Yuan World?"
Lu Changsheng understood.
The Yuan World possessed numerous powerhouses and countless immortal sects.
Yet they were disunited.
This was the normal state of affairs.
They did not reflexively cry for blood the moment a martial dao sect appeared.
It was not like that.
Righteous sects, demonic sects, and the like all coexisted.
It was truly a case of "a hundred flowers blooming."
Yet the interactions among cultivators were exceptionally brutal.
There was no division of orthodoxy here.
There was only the distinction between the strong and the weak.
The strong could seize everything from the weak!
Immortal Dao powerhouses forged in such an environment were ruthless through and through, possessing terrifying combat prowess.
No wonder even Divine Sword Villa had lost an Earth Saint here.
They truly could not hold up!
"Fellow Daoist Lu, what do you think we should do now?
"If we are to preach the Dao, we can only guarantee that nothing will go awry within Divine Sword Villa's sphere of influence.
"Once we venture beyond our borders, our strength will likely fall short..."
Lu Changsheng pondered carefully.
"How many Earth Saints and Martial Saints does Divine Sword Villa have here now?"
Lu Changsheng asked.
"As for Earth Saints, excluding Fellow Daoist Lu and counting those brought along this time, Divine Sword Villa has eight Earth Saints in total!
"As for Martial Saints, there are quite a lot—over a hundred Martial Saints."
Lu Changsheng nodded.
Eight Earth Saints and over a hundred Martial Saints.
Such strength was indeed formidable.
No wonder Divine Sword Villa, upon obtaining the coordinates to this secret world, had thought to swallow it whole, wanting to monopolize it through their own might.
And the result?
Divine Sword Villa had underestimated the Yuan World.
Having their teeth broken, they had no choice but to recruit top Earth Saints from outside.
"Not bad. Divine Sword Villa's strength is actually quite decent, possessing so many Earth Saints and Martial Saints.
"However, we only have five years left. In five years, if we proceed step-by-step to spread the Martial Dao slowly, how long will it take? Ten years, fifty years, even a hundred years might not be enough to condense a Martial Dao.
"The urgent priority is to create a method. To create a martial art that can spread rapidly and be cultivated quickly, which can then proliferate swiftly and enable all living beings to condense the Martial Dao."
The people of Divine Sword Villa agreed with Lu Changsheng's words.
The reasoning was sound, but how could one create such a method?
Moreover, creating a martial arts method capable of overpowering the Immortal Dao system in its early stages was easier said than done.
If it were that simple, Divine Sword Villa would have done it long ago.
"May I ask if Fellow Daoist Lu has a solution?"
the Earth Saint of Divine Sword Villa asked.
"Naturally, I have a method.
"As it happens, Lu previously created a martial arts method in another secret world in order to condense a martial dao.
"This method is suitable for the vast majority of secret worlds. As long as the fundamental rules of the world are identical, it can certainly be cultivated and spread.
"However, at present, this method has only been deduced up to the Martial Saint level. Deducing it to the Earth Saint level will take a bit more time."
Lu Changsheng's words left the people of Divine Sword Villa half-believing and half-doubting.
"Even a method at the Martial Saint level is enough; a Martial Saint-level method can also condense a martial dao.
"However, Fellow Daoist Lu, are you certain that the method you created can overpower the Immortal Dao system in its early stages?
"After all, we have a mere five years left..."
One could hardly blame the people of Divine Sword Villa for their skepticism.
The difficulty was simply too staggering.
Hearing this, Lu Changsheng did not bother offering lengthy explanations.
He merely smiled faintly and asked, "Does Divine Sword Villa have ordinary mortals of the Yuan World at hand?"
"Mortals? Of course we do."
Divine Sword Villa immediately had three ordinary mortals brought forward.
These three were merely servants of Divine Sword Villa.
They had never practiced martial arts.
One was even somewhat advanced in age.
All three trembled with fear.
After all, those standing before them were all paramount figures of Divine Sword Villa.
"My lords, what orders do you have for calling us here?"
The three immediately dropped to their knees, trembling as they asked.
"Raise your heads. You need only cooperate with Fellow Daoist Lu.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, if you please."
Lu Changsheng glanced at the three.
The three also looked up at Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng smiled faintly and said, "Do not fear. I have not summoned you for harm, but for an immense blessing.
"Lu possesses an earth-shattering martial art, completely unlike ordinary martial arts.
"I will impart it to you now. There will be severe pain at first; just endure it."
With that, Lu Changsheng flicked his fingers.
*Whoosh.*
Instantly, three drops of crimson blood flew from his fingertips.
The three drops of blood landed upon the three servants, sinking into their bodies in an instant.
"Ah..."
"It hurts, it hurts so much!"
"Spare me, my lord! I haven't done anything..."
The three rolled on the ground in agony, pleading for their lives.
They thought Lu Changsheng was going to kill them.
The Earth Saints of Divine Sword Villa looked on with perplexity.
Just like that?
Lu Changsheng's so-called creation of a method was merely bestowing three drops of blood upon these three mortals?
What use could that possibly have?
The Earth Saints were utterly baffled.
Yet Lu Changsheng was an invincible Earth Saint.
Thus, despite their confusion, the Earth Saints remained patient, watching in silence.
Time ticked away.
Although the three continued to wail, their cries gradually grew weaker.
In the end, the wailing ceased entirely.
Instead, the strength of their physical bodies began to surge at a pace visible to the naked eye.
What had been the physical constitution of ordinary mortals was now skyrocketing thanks to Lu Changsheng's blood.
Lu Changsheng's method, of course, was the Flesh Martial Dao!
The Flesh Martial Dao was rooted purely in flesh and blood; so long as a lifeform possessed flesh and blood, they could essentially cultivate it.
Unless, like demons, their nature conflicted fundamentally with flesh and blood.
Yet the ordinary mortals of the Yuan World clearly possessed no transcendent power, so there was no need to worry about their flesh and blood conflicting with Lu Changsheng's blood.
Thus, under these circumstances, Lu Changsheng used three drops of blood to directly transform the three into blood scions.
He was, after all, the Flesh Progenitor.
Although the highest tier of the Flesh Progenitor was merely senary growth, equivalent to a Martial Saint,
his three drops of blood were nonetheless terrifying.
For ordinary mortals in particular, it was practically ascending to the heavens in a single bound.
"Hungry..."
"I'm so hungry."
"My body... why is it so strong?"
"What happened to me?"
The three regained their senses.
The pain had vanished from their bodies.
In fact, it went far beyond the mere absence of pain—each of them had become immensely strong.
Secondary growth!
Yes, Lu Changsheng's three most ordinary drops of blood had directly elevated the trio to secondary growth.
Secondary growth was equivalent to the Divine Gang realm.
They were just a hair's breadth away from rivaling the Divine Treasury realm or Qi Refinement and stepping into the transcendent domain.
Of course, had Lu Changsheng wished, he could have elevated them to the transcendent realm in an instant.
It was simply unnecessary.
Lu Changsheng merely wanted to test it and let the Earth Saints of Divine Sword Villa witness it for themselves.
To promote the Flesh Martial Dao, he would need the full support of Divine Sword Villa.
"All right, it is done.
"Fellow Daoists, what do you think?"
Lu Changsheng asked with a smile, looking toward the eight Earth Saints.
A sharp glint flickered in their eyes.
Yet they remained deeply puzzled.
It was done just like that?
What they needed to promote was the Martial Dao.
What did Lu Changsheng's action amount to?
Directly using blood to elevate three ordinary mortals to the Divine Gang realm.
What significance did that hold?
"Dare I ask, Fellow Daoist Lu, is the method you created truly the Martial Dao?"
an Earth Saint of Divine Sword Villa could not help but ask.
"Indeed, this is the Martial Dao Lu created, known as the Flesh Martial Dao!
"The Flesh Martial Dao can directly transform people into blood scions through flesh and blood.
"Thereafter, by consuming food, great nourishing tonics, and the like, one's flesh and blood are bolstered, elevating physical power to an exceptionally high level.
"Given enough time, the Flesh Martial Dao can reach the Martial Saint level at its peak. In fact, I am confident I can deduce it further to the Earth Saint level.
"Furthermore, its greatest advantage lies in its dissemination. Any blood scion can transform others into blood scions. Once transformed, ailments and pain are dispelled, one gains immense strength, and there are no limitations of age or aptitude—anyone can become a blood scion and cultivate the Flesh Martial Dao."
Lu Changsheng outlined the characteristics of the Flesh Martial Dao one by one.
Instantly, the hearts of Divine Sword Villa's eight Earth Saints shook violently.
They inspected the three blood scions once more.
Monstrous waves of shock surged through their minds.
Terrifying!
This was simply too terrifying!
Such a Martial Dao... was virtually unimaginable.
Forget promoting it in the Yuan World.
Even if brought to the Immortal Martial World, people would likely flock to it like ducks to water.
Once the Flesh Martial Dao emerged, how could other martial daos or the Immortal Dao ever compete?
What need would there even be for them to exist?
How was this merely creating a method?
This was creating an entire Dao!
He had pioneered an entirely new path of the Martial Dao!
For a time, even the steadfast Dao hearts of the Earth Saints wavered.
This was no longer a pleasant surprise.
This was an outright shock!
How could an Earth Saint—even an invincible Earth Saint—create such an appalling Martial Dao?
"Can this... truly be cultivated?"
In truth, that was not what they really wanted to ask.
What they wanted to ask was: *Is this truly the Martial Dao?*
Where in the world was there such a bizarre martial dao? Directly transforming someone into a blood scion was essentially a bloodline-based doctrine.
One had to possess the bloodline of a "blood scion" to practice it.
"There is no issue. In the previous secret world, Lu relied on the Flesh Martial Dao to transform countless blood scions, and through the will of all living beings, condensed a martial dao.
"If there is a flaw, it is that it is excessively overbearing and spreads too swiftly, making it easy to draw the hostility of other factions.
"You must all be prepared. Transforming blood scions within Divine Sword Villa's territory might not pose a problem. But once it spreads outward and expands, the immortal sects will certainly not take it lying down."
Lu Changsheng's expression grew solemn.
This was no trivial matter, nor could it be taken lightly with wishful thinking.
Once blood scions proliferated and the Flesh Martial Dao spread, it would inevitably become a target for the immortal sects.
The reason was simple.
The relentless conversion of blood scions and the sheer speed of its propagation were essentially digging up their roots.
Whose roots were being dug up?
Naturally, the roots of the Immortal Dao system.
If ordinary mortals were all transformed into blood scions and cultivated the Flesh Martial Dao, who would bother refining Qi and cultivating immortality?
Therefore, once the Flesh Martial Dao expanded, it would surely provoke a fierce backlash from those immortal sects.
For a moment, the Earth Saints of Divine Sword Villa seemed to realize the gravity of the situation.
"This..."
The Earth Saints of Divine Sword Villa exchanged glances, appearing somewhat hesitant.
The Yuan World was unlike other secret worlds.
They had entered with their true bodies.
If struck by a counterattack from those immortal sects, their situation would become perilous.
They could even die!
This had already been proven before.
Divine Sword Villa had already lost an Earth Saint here.
"Our Divine Sword Villa came to the Yuan World with the sole aim of obtaining martial dao fragments. Now that there is hope of obtaining them, how could we cower before hardship?"
"Indeed. Divine Sword Villa has already paid a heavy price; we cannot retreat no matter what."
"Besides, we have Fellow Daoist Lu. With Fellow Daoist Lu presiding over us, what do we have to fear?"
"Furthermore, even if the worst comes to worst and a dire crisis strikes, we can still retreat back to the Immortal Martial World, which places us in an invincible position."
"Fellow Daoist Lu, you are a top-tier Earth Saint powerhouse invited by our villa. The Villa Master has already commanded us: in the Yuan World, all members of Divine Sword Villa shall obey your orders!"
The Earth Saints voiced their support one after another.
A slight smile appeared on Lu Changsheng's face.
With Divine Sword Villa's full backing, matters would be far easier.
He would not have to start from scratch and develop everything slowly on his own.
"Good. Starting today, I will transform a batch of blood scions and have them convert others.
"We will begin within Divine Sword Villa's territory.
"During this time, Divine Sword Villa must purge its territory once more, especially the mortal kingdoms, ensuring that all fence-sitters vanish completely."
Lu Changsheng began issuing instructions.
"We understand."
And so, the people of Divine Sword Villa went down to make the arrangements.
Divine Sword Villa's five years had not been in vain.
At the very least, they controlled a vast swath of territory and stood as a hegemonic faction.
A so-called hegemonic faction was one capable of exercising absolute dominion over an area, backed by a "Deity Transformation" powerhouse.
With Earth Saints present, Divine Sword Villa naturally wielded Deity Transformation-tier combat power.
This had already been acknowledged by the other immortal factions.
"Come, let us first transform a batch of blood scions of tertiary growth to step into the transcendent domain, equivalent to Qi Refinement in the Immortal Dao system..."
Lu Changsheng knew full well that stepping into the transcendent domain was the key.
Only by stepping into the transcendent domain was it possible to condense a martial dao.
However, it required the will of all living beings.
Right now, they were still far from that threshold.
Thus, under Divine Sword Villa's full-scale promotion, the three mortal kingdoms and billions of mortals under its dominion began to be transformed into blood scions with everything they had.
Divine Sword Villa spared no cost, enforcing the transformation by iron-fisted mandate.
Yet despite the forceful imposition, the ordinary people transformed into blood scions felt no aversion.
On the contrary, anyone who experienced the myriad benefits of being a blood scion found it difficult to resist. All yearned to become stronger and naturally cultivated the Flesh Martial Dao, hoping to attain tertiary growth and enter the transcendent realm.
That was equivalent to Qi Refinement in the Immortal Dao.
In the Immortal Dao system, stepping into Qi Refinement made one a genuine Immortal Master.
Who did not desire to become a lofty Immortal Master?
In the past, becoming an Immortal Master required innate talent and a spiritual root.
Such individuals were one in ten thousand.
Ordinary mortals could only look on in envy, possessing no chance whatsoever.
Now, however, things were different.
By becoming a blood scion, everyone had the opportunity to step into the transcendent realm and rival a Qi Refinement Immortal Master.
With such benefits, who would oppose becoming a blood scion?
Besides, opposition was futile.
The only ones who offered resistance were the immortal cultivators.
Among the factions under Divine Sword Villa's dominion, many were immortal cultivation forces.
After all, the Yuan World was a world of immortal cultivation.
Previously, Divine Sword Villa had not forced those cultivators to switch to the Martial Dao.
Now, however, that was no longer an option.
The blood scion transformation had to be enforced universally.
Thus, Divine Sword Villa moved out with force, suppressing those cultivation factions with an iron fist.
All were converted into blood scions.
Once transformed into a blood scion, one's spiritual root vanished.
They could no longer cultivate immortality and could only practice the Flesh Martial Dao.
Day after day went by.
Divine Sword Villa proved exceptionally efficient.
The Earth Saints mobilized in full force.
In just half a year, the billions of people under the factions they controlled were entirely transformed into blood scions.
Such speed was nothing short of astonishing.
At that moment, within Divine Sword Villa.
Lu Changsheng was listening to reports.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, currently, across all factions and kingdoms controlled by Divine Sword Villa, billions of people have been transformed into blood scions.
"What should our next step be?"
In the grand hall, Lu Changsheng sat at the head.
He was now nominally the Villa Master of Divine Sword Villa in the Yuan World.
Lu Changsheng lifted his head, gazing into the void.
"Sense it carefully. Has any martial dao condensed in the void of the Yuan World? Even an embryonic martial dao?"
The crowd paused slightly.
Then they shook their heads. "We do not sense the slightest sign of a martial dao condensing, not even an embryonic martial dao."
Lu Changsheng nodded. "Do you find it somewhat abnormal? Billions of people have been converted into blood scions, all cultivating the Flesh Martial Dao, with no small number reaching tertiary growth and stepping into the transcendent domain.
"By all accounts, there should be signs of an embryonic martial dao condensing. Yet now, there is not the slightest sign. This indicates only one thing.
"Influence! The influence of the Flesh Martial Dao is too weak; it is merely confined to a tiny corner."
Understanding dawned on everyone.
It was indeed a matter of influence.
Although the blood scions numbered in the billions, the total population of the Yuan World was unimaginably vast.
Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Divine Sword Villa had locked down all news.
At present, the outside world likely did not even know that blood scions existed,
let alone that billions had already been transformed.
The territory controlled by Divine Sword Villa was inherently an isolated corner.
With influence so weak, an embryonic martial dao naturally could not take shape.
"Next, release the blood scions. No longer suppress the news; in fact, encourage the blood scions to venture outward.
"We must also establish incentives—a contribution system, for instance, where converting a certain number of blood scions earns rewards.
"In short, we must have the blood scions convert others on their own. Only then can billions grow into tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions of blood scions.
"Meanwhile, Divine Sword Villa needs to do only one thing: protect and pave the way for the blood scions. When other factions seek to slaughter blood scions, they must be made to harbor misgivings; they must know that Divine Sword Villa is not to be trifled with."
Lu Changsheng's thoughts were lucid and incisive.
He had already laid out this plan in advance.
"So, Fellow Daoist Lu, our next step is to establish our prestige?"
The Earth Saints of Divine Sword Villa had largely guessed his intention by now.
Establish prestige!
They had to make an example!
Without establishing prestige, who would fear the blood scions?
When the time came, those immortal sects would slaughter blood scions at will,
which would completely ruin Divine Sword Villa's grand undertaking.
"Indeed, we must establish our prestige.
"Moreover, we must pick a powerful immortal cultivation faction to make an example of.
"If I recall correctly, Divine Sword Villa previously clashed with the Haoqing Sect in dozens of battles, large and small?
"In fact, the Earth Saint whom Divine Sword Villa lost was slain by a Deity Transformation ancestor of the Haoqing Sect, was he not?"
Lu Changsheng asked.
"Yes, that was indeed the Haoqing Sect.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, do you intend to use the Haoqing Sect to establish our prestige?
"However, the Haoqing Sect is no simple opponent. In particular, their grand sect formation is an impenetrable turtle shell. Furthermore, they possess terrifying magic treasures. Our Divine Sword Villa once mobilized in full, but far from gaining any ground, we suffered a crushing defeat and were ultimately forced to retreat and huddle in this isolated corner.
"Indeed, the Haoqing Sect is a tough bone to chew."
At the mention of the Haoqing Sect, the Earth Saints of Divine Sword Villa gnashed their teeth,
harboring deep hatred for them.
Yet they readily admitted that the Haoqing Sect's strength was exceedingly formidable.
Divine Sword Villa was simply no match for them.
Lu Changsheng, however, did not care in the slightest.
In fact, he was thoroughly satisfied.
"Excellent. That way, we even have a ready justification to establish our prestige.
"This time, Lu will personally take action and raze the mountain gate of the Haoqing Sect!
"Only in this way can a single battle shock the world! Only then can it establish our prestige!"
Lu Changsheng spoke with decisive finality.
His decision was made.
The target: the Haoqing Sect!
